Cefadroxil can in fact be used for dental infections; although amoxicillin and metronidazole are generally used as first line of treatment.

If you're experiencing a lot of pain, I would also try dabbing the area with Vanilla Extract and/or clove essential oil. Both options tend to have a numbing effecting to where you can't feel the pain while it kills the infection.

I hope this helps!
